R. Kelly Cruise: Singer To Host 'Love Letter' Cruise

First Posted: 12/14/11 03:25 PM ET   Updated: 12/16/11 01:11 PM ET

R. Kelly -- yes that R. Kelly -- will be hosting a "Love Letter" cruise next year.

Organized by Concerts Cruise, an entertainment promoter for some 30 years, the cruise will take passengers on the Carnival Destiny for the four-day trip from Miami to the Bahamas on October 1, 2012.

The ship will make port stops in Grand Turks, Half Moon Cay and finally Nassau, Bahamas, before returning to Miami.

Rooms start at $1,499 for a double occupancy cabin, and includes access to one of R. Kelly's two on-board shows.

R. Kelly is the latest celebrity to lend his services to a theme cruise. Mary Matalin and James Carville announced in November that they will headline a Crystal Serenity cruise from Osaka, Japan to Los Angeles in March 2012.

What is the attraction?
R.K. is one ugly son-of-a-mother.

I wonder if a singer who had been on trial for molesting teen White girls would still have a career?

yes.... if he was one of them he sure would.... remember what marv albert did but he is right back where he was once... its different rules no doubt...

But Marv Albert's victim was an adult woman. If she had been a teen I don't think Marv would still have a career.

I was thinking that he wanted 13 tear old girls or is that Usher who wants them! It could be a Disney themed sex cruise, since so many of Disney's starlets end up like Lindsay Lohan!
